According to a report from NY-1, on Friday, 11.24.17, two FDNY EMTs noticed that residents of a Laurelton home, they were called to, seemed to be exhibiting symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.  Upon testing the levels in the house they realized that CO levels were dangerously high inside the home of the 4 residents.

Without hesitation both EMTs removed all residents from the Laurelton house, after realizing the CO levels were six times higher than the normal levels for humans.  It is further reported that the problem within the residence was a faulty boiler.
